Bryce Harper slips up, says he wants to ‘bring a title to D.C.’

At his introductory press conference Saturday, Philadelphia’s new prize signing, Bryce Harper, accidentally said he wanted to “bring a title to D.C.,” rather than to the City of Brotherly Love.

He must have realized his mistake, because he immediately followed that up with a reference to Philadelphia’s Broad Street and described his ideal World Series parade... something about a boat?

News broke Thursday after a four-month-long wait that Harper signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies that broke the record for the richest deal in the history of the four North American team sports.
